T0 all w7wm z't may concern:

Be 113 known that I, OSCAR VVINKLER, a Sub j eot 0f the King 0f Prussia,residing at Namslau, in the Kingdom 0f Prussia, German Empire, l1aveinvented Gertain new ancl useful Improvements in Bung-Exeractors, (f01whieh I haveobtained a patent in Germany, N0. 46,613, dated August 12,1888, anal in Austria- Huugary, N0. 40,37 8 2u1cl N0. 65,015, dateclJanuary 24, 1889,) 0f which thefollowing is a specificauion.

This inveution relates t-o a bung-extra-ctor provided Witl1 an annularhead which is adapte(l to be pressed into the bung and to be then turnedancl raisecl, so as 130 loosen und remove the bung. It is well known(hat the methocl 0rclinarily usecl f0r the extraetion of bungs fromcasks 0f different kinds is noisy, troublesome, and attendecl with greatwaste 0f time. My improved machine overcomes these objections, the caskf10111 whioh the bung is '00 be extracted being rolled upon a movablesupport, with the bung placed 'below a suitably-shapecl head, which eanbe movecl up aucl down by a handle. A seeond handle is provided by Whi0hthe head, when fo1eed clown into the bung, can be turned so zus t0loosen the latter und permit 113 to be mised. In this way the bungs 02mbe removed from as many a.s fifteen hundrecl casks in ten 110 urs, aspeed quioe unatainable under E116 old system.

The invention eonsists in the various features of improvement more fullypointecl 01113 in the clain1s.

In the accomp-anying drawings, Figure 1 is a si le elevation 0f theentire machine. Fig. 2 is a sectional sicle view of the spindle. Fig. 3is a perspeetive view of the heacl. Fig. 4

represenus a side view ancl pla.n of nhe lever H. Fi g. 5 represents aside and freut view 0f the stop. Fig. 6 shows a side ancl t0p view 0fthe support 01 platform, and Fig. 7 is a side view 0f the crank.

The entire apparatus is attached t0 an upright post 01 standarcl P,fixecl t0 tl1e wa1l, and 111 consists, essentially, 0f an acljustableplatform A for the cask, and a three-cornerecl wedge 01 spike-hed D,cmrried a.t the lower end of a spinclle m, which c2u1 be moved up zu1cldown. The plaform A is supported upon a mek R, engaged by a tootheclwheel Z, that may be revolvecl by the crank K. A pawl. k is thrown intoengagemen with racl: R by spring f. By these means the platform A eau02m be quiekly und easily raisecl or lowered to any desirecl heigh. Thewhole mechanism is covered by a plate B, which prevents chips fromfalling into lt.

Above the platform A there is a spindleshaft S, filmt ean De movecl upand down in guicles F F, seeurecl t0 stanclard P, zuncl cou- 11ected by10d T. A lever 01' handle H passes through a slot in the spinclle-shaftS,t0 which it is pivoted', a-ncl its immer shorter en(l is alsoconnectecl by means of a short link L to the rod T. T0 the lower encl 0fshaf S is fittecl a spiudle m, carrying athree-eornered spikehead 01weclge D. The spinclle m is conneeted to its shaft S by means 0f aserew-nut N. lhe spindle is fiattened upon two 0f its sides, so thattl1e forked encl 0f a Shorts lever 01' handle I-l' can be fitted upon itf01 the purpose 0f revolviug the wedge 01 spike-head. D. A forkecl armo1 so0p-plate V is fixecl to the lower side of the guide F, its'forkeclen(l embraoing the spinclle m. \Vhen the l1ead D is misecl, the stop VWill push the bung oft the spikehead.

A speeial advantage resulbing from the use of tl1is apparatus is thatthe casks a1e less injurecl than if the bungs are removerl by hammersancl simil2u tools. The bung-hole is for the same reason preserved frominjury. Moreover, as 110 Chips from the bung can ente1 the eask, 1 heW01k proeeecls without inteu ruption.

l. The combination of a supporting-frame Wit-h shaft S, and aspike-heacl having angular spindle m, aclapted 130 be couplecl to theshaft, und With lever H, pivoted t0 the fran1e and adapted t0 1*aise theshaft, und with a forkecl lever H, aclapted 130 engage und revolveangular spindle m, substantially as speeified.
